Requiring confidentiality protection for information at rest eliminates cleartext storage of sensitive data on persistent media.
Training instructs users on protecting credentials from disclosure or unauthorized access.
Training on secure data handling discourages cleartext storage of sensitive information.
Training records for security awareness and role-based training verify education on credential protection practices, tangibly reducing risks from mishandling or exposing credentials.
Data action mapping can detect storage actions that leave sensitive information in cleartext.
Configuration policies can mandate secure storage methods to avoid cleartext storage of sensitive information.
Protecting authenticator content from unauthorized disclosure and modification while requiring protective controls addresses insufficiently protected credentials.
Policy requires protection measures such as encryption for sensitive data stored on media, preventing cleartext exposure.
